Our next concert is part of a week-long arts and education exhibition within the 2026 Celebrating Gaia series sponsored by the Gail O'Riordan Climate & the Arts Legacy Fund through the Victoria Foundation. The Victoria Philharmonic Choir, conducted by Peter Butterfield, presents Joseph Haydn's magnificent and rarely-performed secular oratorio, The Seasons. This work, first performed in 1801, paints musical pictures of the joys and sorrows of human endeavours, and of nature itself, in the colours of our planet's natural cycles. (Listen for the sounds of croaking frogs and an approaching thunderstorm!).
Siobhán Humston's art installation, For the Seasons, will be open to the public from May 30 - June 7 in the Chapel of the New Jerusalem (upstairs) at Christ Church Cathedral. The week's events will include artist workshops & talks, and conversations with Rick Kool (Naturehood Victoria), Patrick Lucey (Aqua-Tex Scientific Consulting Ltd), and Andrea Careless (South Island Climate Action Network), who will be interacting with Siobhán's artwork in creative ways. For more about Siobhán Humston visit siobhanhumstonart.com
More info on these events and links to free tickets for the art exhibition (space is limited) will be posted over the next few weeks here and at climateandthearts.org
